Egypt Stamp Duty (ضريبة الدمغة)

Egypt Stamp Duty (ضريبة الدمغة) Skill v0.1

General reference only. This skill is general tax/accounting reference material for AI-assisted workflows. It has not been reviewed for any specific person's facts, documents, elections, deadlines, residency, filing status, or local procedures. Do not rely on it to file, pay, amend, or take a tax position without review by a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction is required. Set jurisdiction: EG in frontmatter even when the folder path implies it. Sync to openaccountants.com skips files without a resolvable jurisdiction.

This skill covers Egyptian stamp duty (ضريبة الدمغة / ضريبة الأختام) imposed under Law No. 111 of 1980 (قانون ضريبة الدمغة) on legal documents, instruments, contracts, banking transactions, insurance premiums, company formation documents, and securities transactions. The AI must reply in the user's language (English or Arabic / Egyptian Arabic) and may use the native tax terms shown throughout.

Currency note: all figures are in Egyptian Pounds (EGP / ج.م). YMYL — verify before relying. Egyptian stamp duty rates are frequently amended by decree (most recently Laws 30/2023, 157/2025). Where this skill says "verify current value," re-confirm against the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA — eta.gov.eg), PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries (taxsummaries.pwc.com/egypt), or a Big-4 alert before filing.

Section 4 — Worked examples

Example 1 — Company formation (LLC)

Scenario: An Egyptian LLC is formed with paid-in capital of EGP 2,000,000 through GAFI.

Working:

• GAFI authentication fee: EGP 2,000,000 × 0.25% = EGP 5,000 (below EGP 10,000 cap)
• GAFI service fee: EGP 2,000,000 × 0.1% = EGP 2,000 (above EGP 1,000 min, below EGP 10,000 max)
• Articles of association: Exempt from stamp duty if qualifying Investment Law project
• Total stamp duty / formation fees: EGP 7,000 (if Investment Law exemption does not apply, articles of association may attract additional nominal stamp per page)

Example 2 — Securities sale (resident, unlisted, <33%)

Scenario: A resident investor sells unlisted Egyptian company shares for EGP 10,000,000 (represents 15% of company).

Working:

• Transaction < 33% of company → 0.05% rate applies
• Seller stamp duty: EGP 10,000,000 × 0.05% = EGP 5,000
• Buyer stamp duty: EGP 10,000,000 × 0.05% = EGP 5,000
• Total stamp duty: EGP 10,000 (0.1% aggregate)
• Executing body collects and remits within 5 days of start of following month

Example 3 — Securities sale (non-resident, ≥33%)

Scenario: A non-resident investor sells 40% of an Egyptian company for EGP 50,000,000.

Working:

• Transaction ≥ 33% of company → 0.3% rate applies
• Seller stamp duty: EGP 50,000,000 × 0.3% = EGP 150,000
• Buyer stamp duty: EGP 50,000,000 × 0.3% = EGP 150,000
• Total stamp duty: EGP 300,000 (0.6% aggregate)
• No cost deductions from gross transaction value

Example 4 — Bank loan quarterly stamp duty

Scenario: A company has a bank credit facility with Egyptian bank. Beginning-of-quarter balance: EGP 20,000,000. Amount utilised within quarter: EGP 5,000,000.

Working:

• Stamp base: EGP 20,000,000 + EGP 5,000,000 = EGP 25,000,000
• Annual rate: 0.4% → quarterly rate: 0.1%
• Stamp duty for quarter: EGP 25,000,000 × 0.1% = EGP 25,000
• Shared 50/50: Bank pays EGP 12,500, Client pays EGP 12,500
• Total quarterly stamp duty: EGP 25,000

Example 5 — Insurance premium stamp duty

Scenario: A company purchases transport insurance (marine cargo) with annual premium of EGP 100,000 and property insurance (other) with annual premium of EGP 50,000.

Working:

• Transport insurance: EGP 100,000 × 11% = EGP 11,000 (min EGP 1 satisfied)
• Other insurance (property): EGP 50,000 × 11% = EGP 5,500 (min EGP 1 satisfied)
• Total stamp duty: EGP 16,500
• Insurer collects and remits to ETA

Example 6 — Same-day securities exception

Scenario: A day trader buys and sells the same unlisted Egyptian shares on the same day. Purchase: EGP 1,000,000; Sale: EGP 1,050,000.

Working:

• Same-day buy + sell of same securities → exempt from stamp duty
• Stamp duty: EGP 0 (both buyer and seller sides exempt)
• Must be genuinely same-day transactions; verify with executing body

Section 9 — E-stamp and digital integration

Egypt's digital tax ecosystem is evolving rapidly:

ETA e-invoicing (منظومة الفواتير الإلكترونية)

• Mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses since July 2023
• ETA e-invoices carry UUIDs; only e-invoices recognised for deductible costs
• Stamp duty on e-invoices: nominal stamp applies; the e-invoice system is separate from stamp duty collection but both are administered by ETA
• Verify whether e-invoice stamp is automatically applied or requires separate payment

E-signature and e-seal (التوقيع والإ士م الإلكتروني)

• Electronic Signature Law No. 15 of 2004 established ITIDA as regulatory authority
• Egypt Trust (إيجيبت تراست) and other licensed providers issue digital signature and e-seal certificates
• E-seal (الختم الإلكتروني) is the digital equivalent of a company rubber stamp
• Digital stamp certificates integrate with ETA, customs, and social security systems
• Time-stamp services added to e-signature law (2020s)

E-stamp / electronic stamping

• ETA is progressively integrating stamp duty collection into electronic systems
• Company formation: GAFI's electronic portal handles authentication and service fees in one transaction
• Securities: stamp duty collected and remitted electronically by executing bodies (brokers)
• Insurance: insurers rem stamp duty through ETA's electronic systems
• Bank loan stamp: remitted quarterly through banking system integration
• Verify current status of ETA's dedicated e-stamp portal for general documents

Document and life cycle integration

• Egypt is building integrated government services through digital.gov.eg (مصر الرقمية)
• Long-term goal: stamp duty automatically assessed and collected at point of document registration/ notarisation
• Notarisation offices (الشهر العقاري) are being digitised; stamp duty will be integrated
• This is an evolving area — verify current digital channels with ETA.
